Twenty percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. The doctors could tell immediately that Ammie's best c hance of survival was a specialized burns unit(科) some miles a way at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body, surgeons performed comple x skin grafts（移植）to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that t ook about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie had 12 mo re operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age four, oth er pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her.“I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the sch ool,”she recalls. “Some children refused to become friends bec ause of that.”Today, age 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body.

Ammie's po sitive philosophy（人生观） means she is now in demand with burns organizations, hel ping younger patients build their self-esteem to live with permanent scars.“Now she is a member of the Scottish Burned Children's Club, which a charity set up last year.” says Donald Todd, chairman o f the club and a senior burns nurse at Edinburgh's for Sick Chil dren, “Ammie provides so much encouragement for younger on es. She is upbeat and outgoing and a perfect role model for the m.”This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the G raffham Water Centre in Cambridgeshire for the charity's first su mmer camp . "I'll show them how to shrug off unkind stares fro m others," she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleevele ss tops and she plans to show the youngsters at summer campthat they can too.

But which one is the cleverest?”He called his three sons to him. “Here is some money,” he to ld them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that wil l fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”“It is a big room,” said the eldest son.“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, an d then he smiled, “Come,brothers,” he said, “let us go to the m arket.”The eldest son bought straw with his coin. But one coin boug ht only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as h e could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bou ght only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngestson. “You don't have any straw.”“Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don't have any sand.”“I bought this,” said the youngest son.“A candle！” cried his brothers. “What good is a candle?”“Watch”, said the youngest son.He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!“Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleveres t of my sons,” the old merchant said.And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youn gest son, the one who could fill a room with light.15． Who would get father's fortune?A.

It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how impor tant our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Ev erything else seems unclear. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted.Then people who are far-sighted endure just the opposite problem. They can see things t hat are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unles s they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, t hey must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not ex actly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism（散光）. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s ey es become cloudy because of cataracts（白内障）. Long ago these people often became blind. Now however , it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove then.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle（角度）. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around i t has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two ey es.19．We should take good care of our eyes .A. only when we can see wellB. only when we cannot see perfectlyC. only when we are near-sighted or far-sightedD. even if we can see well or perfectly20．When things far away seem unclear, one is probably .A. near-sightedB. far-sighted C. astigmatic D. suffering from cataracts21．The underlined word endure in the third paragraph probabl y means .A. experienceB. imagineC. suffer fromD. recover from22．Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for .A. seeing at nightB. seeing objects far awayC. looking over a wide areaD. judging distances 23．People who suffer from astigmatism have .A. one eye bigger than the otherB. eyes that are not exactly the right shapeC. a difficulty that can be corrected by an operationD. an eye difficult that cannot be corrected by glasses.2014届高考英语二轮复习三月精品练习阅读理解The apartments for sales,40 minutes’ walk to the gold coast beach, on the ground floor is a priv ate patio(天井), fully fitted kitchen, resting room with feature fireplace and a second reception room which c ould be used as a dinning room or third downstairs bedroom.
